HILLMEAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HILLMEAD sales from August 2000 and May 2024 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2000 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 138% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 138% above the HPI.

What might HILLMEAD be worth now?

HILLMEAD might now be worth an estimated £1,315,527.

This is based on house price inflation of 6.1%, between May 2024 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Canterbury local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 6.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for HILLMEAD of £1,240,000 on 3rd May 2024. For the value to have increased from £1,240,000 to £1,315,527 over the five months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of HILLMEAD has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Canterbury local authority area.
• The May 2024 sale price of £1,240,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of HILLMEAD has not materially changed since May 2024.
